Great location for a base for exploring the local area

Had a nice couple of days here in July 2026. Great location, easy car parking next door. A lovely riverside balcony to sited have lunch or a couple of drinks. Dog friendly. Staff all very pleasant. The bar area was surprisingly quiet in the evening when we were there. Also very well located for the town as well. We will be back if we are in the area.

Lovely hotel!

Two night stay at the riverside
Good location - with parking included. Also access to the sauna, gym and swimming pool
Friendly staff
Good buffet breakfast
Spacious room overlooking the river - very comfortable bed
Nice evening meal at the onsite restaurant - it was very quiet and lacked a little atmosphere but it was a quiet Monday night
Only issue was the water temperature of shower which took ages to cool down which we had to report to reception - so do check water temperature before you step in

Weekend away

Stayed at Riverside Hotel for the first time at the weekend for 3 days and it was lovely, well definitely be back. We arrived early and just waited in the bar until our room was ready, the bar is lovely and clean and had a balcony that overlooks the river, the staff were all lovely and friendly. We went up to the room when it was ready and were very happy to see that it overlooked the river. The room had everything you need, including an iron. I used the pool and sauna the next morning, there were only a couple of people in so plenty of room for us all. The location of the hotel is perfect for a short walk up into town and a short drive to Carus Green Golf Club. We will definitely be back next year.

Staff really helpful, food was good and room was clean. The room was very warm and not great ventilation. I had to request a fan at reception and although it took a while for one to be found the staff were very helpful.
